when you open the game via steam, they show a small window of a battleye launcher, with starting battleye service... and updating..., im stuck there for more than 20 minutes now

Publicado originalmente por DeAdMaNwAlKiNg:

It gives error message that "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item". after the BattleEye window pops up. Once you close the Windows error, BattleEye states it cannot start the game and closes. Is there something that needs to be configured in BattleEye?

You should revert back to previous and then sort things out before you reintroduce BattleEye again

Goodbye war thunder. All the information this piece of garbage takes is really excessive to see if someone is cheating. (has administrative permissions, can browse all drives and folders, gets your hardware ID, can run applications sent to the client)... I don't cheat, I play very little, anyone who sees my performance in the game will notice, I don't have to go through this scrutiny like I'm a cheater. If your company needs a third party company and you need to break my privacy to see if I'm cheating or not, your company is incompetent. I think what bothers me the most is that they transfer information to their servers, what real need do they have to say that they take data from my machine to see if I'm cheating. Literally that's THEFT, it's my data and I don't want to share it with third parties. Goodbye... I'm bad at this game anyway.

If you think that BattleEye is bad, don´t even try to do reasearch about EAC. Not that it is actually useless but it is extremely invasive as well. Iti s even worse than Vanguard which works on Kernell level. EAC is the biggest ♥♥♥♥ in the gameing industry IN EVERY SINGLE WAY. Do you want to be banned for no reason? Play games with EAC. Do you want to be told that EAC DOES NOT COLLECT your data which would not be truth at all? Play games "protected" by EAC.

On the other side I really get your point. But I never gave ban for nothing until I played my first EAC protected game DbD. Where I got ban and when I proved that their ban was for no reason they apologised taht they cannot remove it from y steam profile, because it would ruin good name of their company. So I got copy of DbD on Windows store plus lost DLCs. Never happened to me in games with BattleEye.

I feel the same. Dont think ill bother cos of the forced spyware, it doesnt even show u its terms and conditions with a agree or disagree button. Just a ok button after it tells u all the spying it does. If the company suspects cheating then put it on the suspected players computers if u must but dont blanket all with spyware to catch em. Why isnt the stuff that makes cheats cheats, be server side instead of client side anyhow and that way no need for anti cheat stuff?

Well, your CMs better tell bvvd, he need go to BattleEye, tell them rent some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ servers within China Pan-Asia and CIS or even Africa and South America, getting sick of this 'Starting BattleEye service, updating...' ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with Google servers in Escape From Tarkov, now with Warthunder too? Everyone actual understand anti-cheat basic know most effective anti-cheat is local police raid (Not possible with globe service online games), EAC or BattleEye make no different in actual but let players with little anti-cheat knowledge think Gaijin care about this (which not). But if BattleEye can't let green players into the game, Gaijin will be fked (good to see), if you CMs getting pay from Gaijin your paycheck will suffer soon too. And don't reply, I will notice when BattleEye fix it or Gaijin rollback to EAC.

Good job Gaijin, this new anti-cheat is making me crash now.

Hi! We started phasing BattlEye in last last year for the regular client and today we're starting to phase it in for Steam.

Got it installed just now, but I have one question.
What about removing EAC?
The folder is still there. Will it be removed automatically as it is no longer needed or do I have to do it myself?

Hi! Keep it for now - once everyone has transitioned to BattlEye (as not everyone has fully yet), we'll delete the unneeded files in a game update.

Ok, thx m8

After more than 700 days without missing a log in... Every time I try to log on I crash.. No report. Am I done? Is there any help? I have re installed Battleye three times. I have run as administrator and have restarted my system... Nothing.

Great now I BSOD when I launch the game. Shame were throwing ASIO audio interfaces out the window with this patch. BE likes to input nasty code into my CPU when it sees my Focusrite Scarlett 3rd gen. RIP force feedback flight sticks that need extra drivers to run I'm unsure if that's gunna be a problem but it might since Fanatec racing wheels BSOD as well.

Hey guys, what part of the game is stuck on loading? What is showing when the game is stuck on loading? Please provide as much details as possible, thanks.

This is a problem and BEs response is to supply a method that if done wrong can damage your install of windows.
(I.E. First of all, ensure that Driver Verifier is disabled on your system as it is currently known to cause problems with BE. You can find how to do so here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/244617/using-driver-verifier-to-identify-issues-with-windows-drivers-for-adva.)

The Link in the example from the BE FAQ does in fact Not relay instructions on how to preform said disable rather a full documentation of the verifier. This verifier if not set correctly can lock out windows and required drivers will not boot (I think), the system will then need the OS to repair itself resulting in lost windows default files. if set to be disabled does not effect the issue. This is something they have to fix and as long as the refuse id suggest caution with Battle eye.

Almost all Anti-Cheats work on Kernel-Level including formerly used EAC and now BattleEye and so do many Cheats, stop using 'Noo its kernel level' as some buzzword and no BattleEye is not as invasive as Riot Vanguard because that thing is 24/7 active as long as your System is on which i couldn't find the case to be for BattleEye
